FAQs
Are these guards certified for professional play?
Yes, these are both CE and UKCA certified for safety and reliability.
How do I determine if 'Large' is the right size?
The Large size is designed for standard adult proportions. Measure your shin length and ensure the guard covers the majority of the lower leg without touching the ankle or knee joints.
Can these be washed in a washing machine?
No, machine washing can damage the EVA foam backing and the structural integrity of the PP shell. Hand wipe only.
Do I need to wear socks over these?
Yes, these are designed to be worn under standard football socks to keep them clean and provide a secondary layer of stability.
What material is the outer shell made of?
The shell is constructed from high-impact Polypropylene (PP) for maximum durability.
Troubleshooting
Shin guard slips during play
Ensure the high-elastane strap is pulled taut. If slippage persists, consider wearing a compression sleeve underneath the guard for added grip.
Odor buildup in the foam
Remove the guards immediately after use and allow them to air dry fully in a ventilated area. Use an antimicrobial sports spray if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Lightweight construction prevents leg fatigue
- Breathable EVA backing manages sweat effectively
- Ergonomic fit conforms to the leg for comfort
- Certified for official competition safety standards
Cons
- Large size may be too bulky for younger or smaller players
- Strap-based closure may need occasional adjustment
- Requires careful cleaning to maintain the foam integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, position the contoured shell directly over the shin bone, ensuring the widest part is at the top. Secure the high-elastane strap snugly, but avoid overtightening to prevent restricted circulation.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: Wipe the PP shell with a damp cloth after each use to remove grass and mud.
- Drying: Air dry the EVA foam backing in a well-ventilated area. Avoid placing the guards on radiators or in direct sunlight, as excessive heat can degrade the foam padding.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place and ensure they are completely dry before storing in your kit bag to prevent odor buildup.
